City of Basketball Love

By Josh Verlin (@jmverlin)
—

It’s All-City Classic week, as the Philly USA Basketball group puts on a trio of events which will showcase four classes of standout ballplayers from the greater Philadelphia region. 

The week begins Tuesday night at Imhotep Charter with the Jr. All-City Classic, three games of players in the class of 2028; one girls game will open that evening, with two boys’ games to follow. The Girls’ All-City Classic is Wednesday night, with three games — one each for 2025s, 2026s and 2027s, the youngest group beginning the night. That format repeats on Friday for the 28th Annual Rasual Butler Boys’ All-City Classic, the only event of the three to be held at Ben Franklin High.

Below are the rosters for all three events, all of which are set to start at 6 PM:
